After his death in 1973 she lived alone in the house on Stanley Street in Schenectady until she entered and adult home.
Eli's first wife was Julia Barnum (1848-1880). Elizabeth was Julia's younger sister. Her mother died when she was in her teens so she went to live with Eli and Julia. When Julia died Eli married Elizabeth. The first three children were Julia's.
